About Me
Hi!
My name's Ruth Freitas and I'm an author, copywriter, and editor. I've loved stories ever since I read my first novel at the age of six. Since then, my love for stories has grown into a passion for writing and editing.
I wrote my debut fantasy novel The Last Daughter of Elysia on Wattpad which was featured across nine of their reading lists including The Editors' Choice List. I was also shortlisted for the 2021 and 2022 Watty Awards for an earlier version of The Last Daughter of Elysia and I've also released a short story on Amazon titled The Choice. I've also written feature articles that were published by Good Reading Magazine.
I've studied Creative Writing Stage 1 at the Australian Writers' Centre and have completed a BA in Creative Writing at Curtin University. I've also completed a certificate in Foundations of Digital Marketing and E-Commerce through Coursera. Throughout my experience and studies I've acquired the skills to conduct:
-
manuscript appraisals
-
structural editing
-
copyediting
-
proofreading
-
feature article writing
-
business writing
-
SEO copywriting

My debut fantasy novel The Last Daughter of Elysia is out now on
A stolen grimoire.
A court of lies and secrets.
A dangerous game of betrayal.
Seventeen-year-old Morgana lives in Golah Court, one of the two fae courts in the magical and dangerous land of Elysia. Adopted by Golah Court's fae king when her parents died in a mysterious cottage fire, Morgana is human in a world where the fae rule and the land's magic is deadly to her kind. To survive Morgana must take a special elixir all whilst navigating court life, dangerous fae, and the mysterious Prince Caliath from the rival Aeperos Court.
But on her eighteenth birthday the elixir starts to fail, endangering Morgana's life.
In a race to escape death, Morgana discovers ruinous secrets and a betrayal so shocking that it changes her life, forever.
